Middlehaven BOHO District
10th July 2019
Northpoint Site Investigation. Northpoint work with Middlesbrough Council to transform the Middlehaven area as part of the flagship BOHO Zone development.
Exciting Development Proposals
The Middlehaven area located south of The River Tees in Middlesbrough is earmarking for significant redevelopment. The old Town Centre was surrounded by heavy industry such as iron and steel works we all associate with the industrial past of Middlesbrough. Today, a large portion of this land lies disuse.
Areas of Middlehaven have recently been redeveloped including a new footbridge connecting Manhattan Gate to the Riverside Stadium. Commercial and education sector buildings form part of the BOHO vision to create a digital and creative business hub in this area of the town
It is exciting to think about how the area will be completely transformed in the next 5 to 10 years. Most noteworthy, an indoor ski centre and sports complex, one of only a handful in the UK is being considered for Middlehaven Manhattan Gate, consequently adding to the modern architecture of the BOHO zone and iconic Tees Transporter Bridge.
